  • Patent number: 7372178
    Abstract: The invention concerns an electrical machine, whereof the active part includes a global solenoid winding (110, 210, 310) for each phase and includes, inside said winding(s), a stack of ferromagnetic or non-magnetic parts (400) and magnetized parts (500), the ferromagnetic or non-magnetic parts being provided with passages traversed each by at least one relatively sliding element (600), each sliding element constituting a succession of portions alternately magnetic (620) and non-magnetic (630), the passages formed in the ferromagnetic or non-magnetic parts of the stack forming orifices whereof the internal cross-section encloses each time one sliding element, the sliding elements (600) consisting in rods having each an outer periphery matching the internal cross-section of the traversed orifices.

  • Patent number: 6794791
    Abstract: The invention concerns a machine forming a motor or generator including a stator and a rotor. The rotor is a passive rotor, consisting of two ferromagnetic discs whereof at least one is toothed. The stator includes a fixed polyphase field coil arranged in an air gap defined by the space provided between the two discs and generating a rotating magnetic field, and a field coil likewise fixed. The invention is applicable to a cylindrical rotary machine or to a machine with linear displacement.

  • Patent number: 5952758
    Abstract: A rotating electrical machine including a rotor (2), the magnetic circuit of which carries excitation members, and a stator (16), the magnetic circuit of which carries a stator coil. The magnetic circuit of the rotor includes a shaft (1) on which are mounted end flanges (3) and at least one toothed disk (4) disposed between the end flanges, the teeth of the toothed disk being regularly spaced at its periphery, and at least one annular member (9) mounted on the end flanges and having slots (10) regularly distributed at its periphery and in each of which is engaged one tooth of at least one toothed disk. The end flanges and the toothed disk are spaced apart by gaps in which excitation members (14, 15) are accommodated.

  • Patent number: 5661350
    Abstract: A device for a linear actuator, including a mobile assembly moving relative to a stator in a traveling direction. The assembly includes an excitation winding and an armature comprising pole pieces and permanent magnets. The stator is a simple guide tube defining the path of the mobile assembly, and may be made from a profiled ferromagnetic material, with holes extending through two walls thereof to define stator poles in two rows mutually longitudinally offset by a half pitch.
